Dental care doesn’t take a vacation. Along the quiet stretch of Pawleys Island, routine checkups and unexpected toothaches still need attention. This isn’t a tourist clinic—it’s a local practice handling everything from fillings and cleanings to more involved work like crowns or extractions. No frills, just the kind of place where you’d schedule a last-minute appointment after biting into something you shouldn’t have.

The office sits at 14559 Ocean Highway, a few miles from the marshwalk but far enough from the seasonal crowds. It’s one of those addresses you’d plug into your GPS after realizing your usual dentist back home won’t do much good when you’re 300 miles away. Pawleys Island isn’t exactly dense with options, so having a practice that covers root canals, dentures, and basic oral surgery fills a real gap—no pun intended.

Questions about insurance coverage or an emergency slot? Reach them directly at (843) 237-2675. Unlike chain clinics, there’s no call center runaround; you’ll get answers (or a voicemail) from the same team that’ll actually work on your teeth. That’s the trade-off for a low-key operation: fewer layers, more direct care.

If you’re mapping it out, directions are here. The area’s a mix of old-school seafood shacks and newer developments, but this practice fits the unpretentious side of Pawleys. No ocean views from the chair—just the kind of place you’d rather visit twice a year than twice a week.
